The Bobcats totaled 252 passing yards and 132 rushing yards throughout the game, most notably being made by quarterbacks Jonathan Morillo, Nate Silvestre, and wide receiver Jonathan Lawson.

On Friday, Sep. 22, the Bobcats played the Pembroke Pines Charter High School Jaguars at Charles W. Flanagan High School for their homecoming game. The game began at 7:00 pm, and the Bobcats had already made a touchdown within the first ten minutes. However, the game came to an abrupt pause before the first quarter ended due to lightning. The lightning delays lasted two hours before the game resumed at 9:15 pm. Although the Jaguars managed to make a touchdown upon their return, the Bobcats defeated them, winning 27-7.

After taking a week off to recoup, the Bobcat Varsity Boys Football team played against the Dwyer Panthers in a non-district match, winning 23-3. The Bobcats put up a tough fight, and by the end of the second quarter, they had managed to make one touchdown. With three minutes left, the Panthers made a field goal, setting the score 6-3. Their success was short-lived, however, as West Broward continued to make two touchdowns in the third quarter, and a field goal in the fourth. The Bobcats took full advantage of their off week to grow and learn from previous matches against Cypress Bay and Mainland, showing all the hard work they put in over the summer and after school. “ They worked their tails off and I think that's what they came to realize during this off week was they put a lot of work into this and can’t let it go to waste,” said head coach Brian Mccartney.

On Sep. 1st, the boys varsity football team took on the Mainland Buccaneers in Daytona, taking a 0-36 loss. The Bobcats took 44.5 rushing yards and 86.5 passing, 29 of which were made by wide receiver Jonathan Lawson and 19 made by wide receiver Richard Leon. Meanwhile, Buccaneers took 145.5 rushing yards and 51 passing. The Buccaneers are amongst the top teams in the state of Florida, sitting at number 5. When asked about the game, head football coach Brian Mccartney said, “I think they've learned and we’ve found our identity offensively. We've definitely worked harder this past off week and I think our kids came together.” After taking a week off, the Bobcats will play against the Dwyer Panthers in Palm Beach on Thursday, Sep. 14. at 7 PM for another non-conference match.

August 25th

The Bobcat Varsity Boys Football team took on Cypress Bay on Aug. 24, falling to the Lightnings at 7-20. An immediate anxious atmosphere fell over the field when neither team managed to score in the first quarter. The Bay finally made a mark on the scoreboard with a touchdown in the beginning of the second quarter. With a minute and fifty six seconds left, they made a field goal and another touchdown to leave the score at 0-14. After recouping, the Bobcats made their first touchdown of the match in the third quarter, giving the crowd newfound hope. This optimism would be short-lived, however, as Cypress Bay ran out the clock and scored yet another field goal to make the end score 20-7. Later this week, the Bobcats will be taking on the Mainland High Buccaneers on Sep. 1 at 7 PM in Daytona for a non-conference match.
